For a great page that translates from English to Latin, try this link:

A funny and meaningful story - This latin was written by the Arch Bishop Terry Waite during his 5 yrs..chained to a radiator in Beirut. His colleague, a journalist had been kidnapped at the same time and was also in chains in the same building. A friendly guard told Terry that Brian was suffering with depression and going 'down hill' Terry asked the guard if he would pass on a latin blessing to Brian. The guard agreed and provided a pencil and paper.- the note read as follows:- " Copula eame se non posit acceptara jocularem" translation:- "F**k them if they can't take a joke!"- 3 Years later Brian keenan wrote a book about his experiences and said from that day he started to pick up and the note got him through a bad patch.

Another funny story - During 12yrs. service as a paratrooper the heirachy decided that we should cross train with the Marine Commando's. (neither outfit thought much to it, Regimental pride etc.,) When we trained in fatigues and helmets we were identical, one morning on 1st.Parade the marines showed up with their mottoe "Semper Fidelis" painted on the front of their helmets- The next day we appeared with our chosen mottoe painted on our helmets- "Semper Faeces" Always in the cr*p. The powers to be said no more motto's and in future you can wear your Beret's - green for them and our usual Red.
The para. who chose our mottoe was well educated and was famous for being arrested drunk in town,one night by the M.P.'S . The commanding officer asked him for an explanation he replied "Calix Meus Inebrians."- from the psalms of David, "my cup makes me drunk"- He was given a special room for 7 days all to himself, with bars to stop anyone stealing his kit- that's what he wrote to his mother!
Sincerely and Fraternaly, John Crust
